all the clips were new a couple of months ago, i had the same problems when they were brand new

they just dont clip in and stay in without a massive wack

i'll get some new strips and do a better job of painting them, then probably just glue them on so they sit nice and flush

Me neither, where did you get the clips from and were they all the correct depth ones in the right places along the length of the door strips as they do vary?

Am i right in thinking the the 3 door models use the deeper set clips partially on the doors, where as the 5 doors only use the more shallow versions? If you haven't been using the deeper ones, that's probably your problem :)

nah its cool they are on now, 3 doors use loads of the smaller clips, and then a weird half size clip right at the end which always breaks

fancy a trip to the scrapyard in the afternoon?
